What happens to the elements in an array-based queue after a dequeue operation?
The dequeued element is marked as deleted but remains in the array.
The array is resized to accommodate the removal of the element.
The 'front' pointer is adjusted to point to the next element in the queue, effectively removing the first element logically.
The remaining elements are shifted one position towards the front of the array.
What value does the 'isEmpty' operation on a queue return if the queue contains no elements?
The first element in the queue
0
-1
True
When would it be more advantageous to use a linked list implementation of a queue over an array-based implementation?
When the maximum number of elements in the queue is known in advance.
When dynamic resizing and the potential for overflow are concerns.
When dealing with a small, fixed number of elements.
When memory usage needs to be tightly controlled.
What is the primary difference between a queue and a stack?
Queues use LIFO (Last-In-First-Out), while stacks use FIFO (First-In-First-Out).
Queues store numbers, while stacks store characters.
Queues use FIFO (First-In-First-Out), while stacks use LIFO (Last-In-First-Out).
Queues are linear data structures, while stacks are non-linear.
Which of the following real-world scenarios can be effectively modeled using a queue?
Implementing an undo/redo functionality in a text editor.
Managing a priority-based task list.
Handling customer service requests in a first-come, first-served manner.
Storing the browsing history in a web browser.
If you were to design a system to handle customer service requests arriving through various channels, with each request needing to be addressed in the order it was received, which data structure would be most appropriate?

Consider an array-based queue with 'front' at index 3 and 'rear' at index 7. After two dequeue operations, what will be the new value of 'front'?
6
1
5
2
In a circular queue implemented using an array of size 5, the front is at index 3, and the rear is at index 1. What happens after two dequeue operations?
The front moves to index 0, and the rear remains at index 1.
The queue becomes empty.
The front moves to index 1, and the rear moves to index 4.
The front moves to index 0, and the rear moves to index 4.
How does an array-based queue handle the underflow condition?
By raising an exception or returning an error value when attempting to dequeue from an empty queue.
By dynamically resizing the array.
By using a circular array to reuse the empty spaces.
By overwriting the existing elements.
Which real-world scenario best exemplifies the use of a queue data structure?
Storing a family tree with ancestors and descendants
Managing a list of students sorted alphabetically
Finding the shortest route between two points
Tracking the order of tasks assigned to a CPU
